Remiss

I've been remiss in not posting this week. I have to transcribe and post the sets from Tommy's on Monday and Bunjo's on Friday. I'm taking tomorrow night off, so maybe I'll get them done then. I'm mad at myself for not bringing fresh batteries for the camera Monday & starting the video too early Friday, so I have only the first *few* minutes of my set. [sigh] On each occasion, though, I recorded the audio, so at least I can copy down the words for you when I get a chance, gentle reader.

I joined MySpace Comedy today, something I've been consciously avoiding. MySpace has become the "crazy uncle" of social networking sites. Too many teens, tweens, and crazies. But I need the presence, so I did it (MySpace.com/richorwell). I mostly use Facebook (Facebook.com/rich.orwell) and Twitter (Twitter.com/rhetorich).

If you want it, you can make a bid on the domain name "sitonmyfacebook.com" Best of luck.

I also joined a few more SIGs (Special Interest Groups) at Mensa, so I need to read all *those* daily email digests. I've got 100 digests from my 2 Yahoo pun groups to read, too.

On the comedy gig front, I've booked open mic nights and new talent showcases in the next few weeks at 3 clubs outside my "comfort zone" of Tommy T's and Bunjo's: a second appearance at Rooster's in Sunnyvale, and first appearances at Paddy's Coffee House in Union City and the Wharf Room at Castagnola's restaurant in San Francisco. It will be a good learning experience to work at different clubs, each with its own audience mix.

I've decided to change the flavor of my sets to more "biographical" and less "current news & politics". This will require a good deal of writing, but I have until Friday to work on it.
